We observed that 60% of the meals consumed in US are not whole grains.

There are multiple reasons why whole grain meals are not being consumed as much as white grains:

Whole grains are not always easily accessible all the time. Most of the restaurants do not carry whole grains foods. Even if they do; they have only fewer options of whole grains. For example:

Whole Foods Market pizza is not whole grain.

Subway has only one bread that uses Whole grain wheat (9-Grain Wheat). Although it has some Whole grains, its still has a blend of enriched flour.

We also observed not everybody likes the taste of whole grains, thus are avoiding whole grains.

Whole grains are difficult to cook, for example brown-rice, which takes an hour compared to white rice, which cooks in under 20 minutes

We also observed lot of whole grain foods are being wasted. We counted the number of un-eaten plates that are taken back to dish wash area in a restaurant, and observed that more whole-grain plates are un-eaten compared to other grains.

Some Whole grain foods have very short life, and go rancid quickly – and gets thrown away.
